Procedure
To check out media equipment, please completely fill out the form and sign & date the agreement at the bottom. An email request to media@sal.ksu.edu is an acceptable way to request or reserve equipment, and becomes an official reservation only when confirmed by Media Services staff. However, a filled-out and signed “Media Equipment Checkout” form is still required in order to take any equipment.

Media equipment may be checked out at the Media Studio in the Library from 8:00 am - 11:45 am and from 1:00 pm - 4:45 pm. Any checkouts outside of these times must be arranged in advance.

Recordable Media
If the equipment uses recordable media (Mini-DV tapes, mini-CDRW’s, VHS tapes, etc.), user should provide their own media, which is generally available locally at Wal-Mart &/or Office Max. If Media Service’s blank media is used, user will be charged actual cost of the recordable media (unless user dubs off and returns the media for re-use, in which case there is no charge). There is a duplication charge for Media Services to dub Mini-DV’s to VHS or digital pic’s or video to a CD-ROM.

Allowed Uses
Equipment checked out through Media Services is for university (academic) use only. Rental charges apply when the use is personal/non-university (see Media Services’ Schedule of Charges for current pricing). If your intended use is personal &/or not university-related, please indicate so when making the reservation. Priority will always be given to campus and university uses.

Off-Campus Permission
Permission from your department head is required in order to take K-State property off-campus (obtain signature on form before checkout).
